Dear Gary,

I'm stuck in the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game because I can't defeat the Rancormonster after you get the Wookie, Zaalbar, as a party member... How do you get past that level?Nalhp

Hey Nalhp,

The Force is strong but that Rancor is huge and hungry, isn't he? No worries, I have some video game cheats that'll make a Jedi out of you yet! The first trick to fighting that Rancor is that you have feet - and what are feet good for? Running! Get the heck away from that thing before it grabs you, peels you like a banana and eats all your juicy bits. Even Zaalbar the Wookie is no match for that bruiser. Here's a game walkthrough on how to beat the Rancor.

Star Wars: KOTOR - Defeating the Rancor Game Walkthrough

The whole Rancor-trying-to-eat-you mess starts when you wander down a ramp and find what's left of some poor dude - just his arm. Check the arm out and you'll find a synthesized odor stick. This stick smells delicious to a Rancor so be careful with it.

There's a door nearby - switch to solo mode (so none of your allies try to join you and end up as Rancor snacks), pop the door open and make with the sneaky-sneaky into the Rancor's lair. Don't sneeze. Seriously.

Look around 'til you find the Rancor's old lunch pile - a big ole' stack of bones. Creep up to it and use the Give Mode to stuff a grenade and the synthesized odor stick into it. Then book it because that's going to get the Rancor hungry and that's a bad thing to be around. When the Rancor shows up, it's going to mow on the frag grenade and, as you can imagine, that's going to give it one heck of an upset stomach.

Once the Rancor is done with its super-spicy lunch, grab your teammates again and go kick in the door it was guarding. There are only two guards between you and the Black Vulkar base now so go get 'em!

That's it for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic video game cheats and walkthroughs this week, but stick around and see what cheats Gary can come up with for next week. He'll get the 411 on all the coolest game codes! Don't forget, if you get stuck and need a game cheat code, and let him know.
